URGENT:
I have asked questions and researched the California Penal Code and can find NO PROHIBITION which would prevent someone who is 18, 19 or 20 years of age from OPENLY CARRYING AN UNLOADED FIREARM.
I am 61 so it's safe to assume that this question does NOT pertain to me personally.
I have found that individuals can purchase, possess and carry firearms if they are at least 18 years of age and are not disqualified by law as explained in this explanation:
A U.S. citizen or legal resident over age 18 may carry any pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person anywhere within his or her place of residence, place of business, or on private property owned or lawfully possessed by the citizen or legal resident. Section 12026(a). A permit or license is not required for a person to carry within these locations, as long as he or she may legally purchase or possess firearms under state law. Sections 12026(b), 12031(h).
The question is very simple:
Is there a minimum age for open unloaded carry if the person is over 18?
Serious question, serious issue and a valid reason to ask!
If someone can point to any law that prohibits open unloaded carry by individuals who are 18, 19 or 20, please respond with exact provision(s) of the California Penal Code.
Personally, I don't think a legal prohibition exists.
